The CMBS properties our stress model flags here, plus recent store closures and layoffs. Stressed is a wider net than distressed — the distressed figure above counts only loans already in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, while these dots also include performing loans facing maturity or coverage pressure. Property dots sit at the center of their ZIP code, not the building — they show where stress concentrates, not which asset. Closures and layoffs are pinned to address where we have it.

How much CRE distress is there in Ocala, FL right now?
Ocala, FL is showing no elevated distress signals across the four independent feeds we track right now: store closures, WARN layoff notices, bank CRE noncurrents, and securitized loans in special servicing are all at quiet levels, with 6 of 6 pairs agreeing and 0 elevated. Store closures run at 4 over a trailing 365-day window (ranked 98th of 392 by count, 56th by rate at 3.86 per 100k jobs); WARN notices sit at 2 (ranked 166th of 386 by count, 196th by rate at 0.06% of employment); bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line is $93.2mm or 5.54% of the metro's allocated book (ranked 168th of 393 by count, 137th by rate); and the CMBS tape shows 0 rows in special servicing, 0.0% of its balance. The bank allocation caveat applies—only 5.5% of these dollars sit at banks that lend in one metro and need no allocation—but across the board, no reading is elevated.

Which distress signals are elevated in Ocala, FL, and which cannot be read?
In Ocala, FL, current distress signals are elevated only in isolated form: bank CRE at risk at the 90th percentile stands at 35.1%, and distressed lender CRE totals $93.2mm, with bank CRE allocation at 5.5% (bank CRE total $1.68bn). However, the signal is deemed immaterial—there is "little to no distressed CRE dollars behind the signals"—and it is a "watch" phase with no convergence (convergence reading: 0). Readings that cannot be obtained include the CMBS special servicing UPB (stated as $0.0mm, with a 0.0% share of metro UPB), distressed bank assets (0), and any store-closure or WARN-notice figures for the past year (unavailable in the provided data). The phase sequence is also "no reading," and no elevated signals are listed for this metro.

Jobs & Demand — the labor market under the collateralWatch it change →
Every other zone on this page reads the credit — what the loan is doing.
This one reads the demand underneath it. Office jobs pay office rent;
office rent services the office loan. When the jobs go, the DSCR follows — but not for another year or two.
That lag is the whole point of looking here.

Monthly metro unemployment (BLS LAUS) — the freshest labor signal there is,
about six weeks behind. Read the direction, not the level: a 4% metro that is rising and a 6% metro that is
falling are not telling you the same thing.
Jobs by CRE-relevant sector · 2024
Annual employment by sector (BLS QCEW, 2024; 103,643 jobs in the metro).
QCEW lags — it is the structural read, not the current one, and we pair it with the monthly unemployment above on purpose.
Office-using sums five supersectors; where BLS withholds any one of them for
disclosure, we show nothing rather than a number we know is too low — so a missing sector here means
“suppressed at the source,” not “zero.”

Distress Trend — is this market turning?Track it quarter by quarter →
Realized distress is FLAT — 0.0% now (2026-07), +0.0pp over the year.
Same definition as the cards above — distressed means in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, dollar-weighted — on a different clock. The cards are today’s tape; this is the disclosed history panel, quarter by quarter, so you can read direction rather than level. Trusts file monthly, so a quarter is usually well covered within weeks of opening and the newest one shown is normally the current one; it is withheld only when its filed book falls below 60% of recent quarters.
Share of the metro’s CMBS in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, by quarter — a firmer, backward-looking read. A loan under 1.0x DSCR that is still paying is not counted here.

The 8 regional and local banks that gather deposits here could write roughly

The room above is already part-sold. Construction lending is a promise drawn
down over two or three years, and the undrawn part is an obligation the bank cannot decline while the borrower performs
— every one of those dollars lands in the same CRE book the 300% line governs. These banks
have $69M of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $54M
comes out of the room above, leaving $29M,
with 3 banks
whose entire remaining room is spoken for.
A bank with no room contributes zero here, never a negative one — capacity does not net
across balance sheets — so $16M of what has
been promised is not deducted at all, because there is nothing left to deduct it from. On today’s
capital that is funding already contracted which would cross the line as it draws.
SR 06-26 draws a second line at 100% of capital for construction and land:
1 of 8
is past it on drawn balances alone, and
5 more cross it
once their own commitments fund.

These hold deposits in this metro but are left out of the capacity above, because for them deposit location stops indicating where they lend — or they do not lend CRE at all. Real money that could refinance here is deliberately not counted.

* Two ratios, two perimeters.
The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital —
construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential. That is the book SR 06-26 draws its
300% line against, and it is what the red coloring and the room contributed are both measured on.
Total beneath it adds owner-occupied CRE — lending to a business on
its own premises — which the guidance deliberately leaves out. A bank can sit well above 300% on total CRE and
still be inside the line, with real room to lend; both are shown so the gap is visible rather than surprising.
How to read this. It is not whether any particular loan can refinance — a borrower also reaches
national banks, life companies, agencies and debt funds. It is how much of this metro’s maturing volume the local
bank sector could absorb if it were the only door.
Banks are placed by deposit share (FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 2025) — a proxy for
where they lend, not a measurement; call reports carry no collateral geography. Room = 3× total risk-based capital less CRE held
(SR 06-26, the capital base the rule names — not book equity), from Q2 2026 call reports, apportioned by that share.
Committed construction comes from FFIEC Schedule RC-L as filed at 2026-06-30 —
the undrawn half of loans already written, which the balance sheet above does not show.
Banks in more than 5 states, single-branch bookers and banks that do not lend CRE are excluded —
313 banks holding $268.2B of national capacity not counted here.

Do the banks lending in Ocala, FL have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
Ocala, FL sits at 49 of 270, counting from the MOST strained — a LOWER rank number means MORE strain, with a wall_to_room of 1.21 against a maturing wall of $34.9mm across 3 maturing_loans, though that ratio eases to 0.42 when measured on room_before_committed of $82.8mm rather than the room_after_committed of $28.9mm that the $69.4mm in committed_draws leaves behind; with banks_qualifying of 8 against banks_excluded_here of 3, a distressed_share of 0.0%, and a $104.8mm cmbs_upb, the reading is skewed by the fact that room is a proxy — deposit footprint, not measured lending — so the strain shown is partly an exclusion artifact rather than a demonstrated shortage of local bank capacity.

What has actually happened on the ground in Ocala, FL recently?
Over the trailing 365 days, Ocala, FL has seen 4 store closures, 1 warn notice, and 85 jobs affected — a jobs figure that is a floor, since notices stating no headcount contribute 0. Separately, the state-proxy count of CRE-likely bankruptcies is 8, but that figure carries the filer's state rather than the property's location and is not a metro-native count. A metro-native CRE bankruptcy reading is unavailable.
The figures behind this answer

- 4
- WARN layoff notices
- 1
- Jobs on those notices
- 85
- CRE-related bankruptcies
- 8
- Window, in days
- 365
STATE PROXY — bankruptcy filings carry the filer's state, not the property's location, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count.
affected_employees is nullable — notices that state no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs, so this is a floor.
Closures are matched ZIP -> CBSA and only APPROVED rows count (a pending, machine-extracted row is not yet a closure). This mirrors the Metro Pulse page, not the convergence board — the board applies neither filter and counts higher. Layoffs take the same ZIP -> CBSA and review treatment, and a WARN notice counts if it affects >= 10 people or does not state a headcount (a NULL is not 'fewer than 10').
